Pithy guy...
Thomas Sowell has another batch of his one-liners. My favorite:
"A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years," said Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. If so, then we may be hearing about "diversity," "social justice" and "a living wage" for many years to come.
Oh, and one more...
Does anybody seriously believe that "hate speech" prohibitions will be applied to Muslims demonizing Jews, to blacks demonizing whites, or to women demonizing men?
And...
Wisdom and cleverness are very different things. My nominations for the three wisest presidents would be Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan. For the three cleverest -- FDR, Nixon and Clinton.
And...
"Nations are like men in that they prefer a fuss made in their behalf to real services rendered." Although de Tocqueville said this back in the 19th century, it may help explain why the black vote today is so overwhelmingly for the Democrats, when Democrats have done so little good for blacks and so much harm.Posted by John Weidner at July 11, 2007 06:28 AM
Dr. Sowell is simply brilliant. One of his best columns was "Is thinking obsolete?"
Anyway, I am contacting conservative bloggers around the country since I am one as well. I hope this email is not an intrusion.
Anyway, I would like it very much if you would go to http://www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/blogs/show/21020 and vote for me for best political blog and best overall blog as well, IF AND ONLY IF you feel my blog is of a high quality. I really think I have a legitimate shot at winning. If you are open to spreading the word, that would be cool as well.
Thank you.

P.S. If you are open to doing a link exchange, I get some pretty decent traffic.
Clever— Jefferson wasn't on the list?
Oh, wait, that's intelligence. Yet another shade of smart.
